An Overview of Chris Burch’s Investment Portfolios

After several years of investing in different famous brands like Tory Burch and C. Wonder, businessman Chris Burch has now decided to take his entrepreneurial skills to the hospitality industry. Mr. Burch and a seasoned hospitality guru, James McBridge, purchased a beach property on Indonesian Sumba Island in 2012. The two businessmen spent $30 million to redevelop the property, which was then reopened in 2015 as a five-star hotel known as Nihiwatu. One year after it was reopened, Nihiwatu was named as a top global hotel by Travel & Leisure.

The entrepreneur revealed that he bought the property for his kids and also as an investment which they can give back to the society in future.
